Panopto Mobile App

Set video and audio

Panopto automatically detects the computer’s built in camera.

If you don’t want video, select “None” in the “Video Source” drop down menu. If you want to use an external camera, the option to select that camera should appear in the “Video Source” drop down menu after you have connected the camera through a USB input.

Panopto will also detect the computer’s microphone. Panopto does not allow recordings without audio. If you want to capture just slides or slides and video, mute the computer’s microphone.

Use the computer’s microphone to adjust audio levels as well. You will see how much sound you are getting as segments of the “Level” bar light up. It’s best if you see segments lighting up about half way.

Select secondary sources

You can also capture a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation and the screen of the computer running Panopto by checking those options under “Slides” and “Screen Capture.”

Before you can capture PowerPoint slides, you need to copy them from any drive, email, or documents folder to the desktop of the computer running Panopto.

If you use the screen capture feature, know that Panopto uses a frame rate half the speed of regular video. The frame rate cannot be altered on a Mac, so any videos played during a presentation will be choppy.

Start the recording

When you’ve selected all the sources you want to capture, start recording.

After starting the recording, navigate back to PowerPoint and put your slides in presentation mode; Panopto will only capture the slides as long as you are presenting.

Stop the recording

A “Stop Recording” button is available during the recording. When the lecture or presentation is over. Click the button and Panopto will move to a recording status window.

Allow processing time

When you stop the recording, Panopto will direct you to a recording status window. The recording will take a few minutes to upload and process. Its progress is displayed under “Status.”

When the upload completes, check the recording on the Panopto site to ensure it processed correctly.

If the copy on the server is good, you can delete the local copy stored in the recorder, by clicking “Delete” under “Recording Information.” However, if the recording is ever deleted on the server, you will not be able to re-upload the session. It will be lost.

Share recording

You can then watch the video to see what anyone else will see when they open the link. Selecting “Share” will take you to a location on the site that gives you tools to determine who can view the recording.

The “Actions” drop down menu will allow you to view the separate streams if the files are still saved on the local drive.

Offline recordings
